Then he sent them away.
008:010 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples,
and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
008:011 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from
him a sign from heaven, and testing him.
008:012 He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this
generation{The word translated "generation" here (genea) could also
be translated "people," "race," or "family."} seek a sign?
Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given
to this generation."
008:013 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to
the other side.
008:014 They forgot to take bread; and they didn't have more than one
loaf in the boat with them.
008:015 He charged them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast
of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
008:016 They reasoned with one another, saying, "It's because we
have no bread."
008:017 Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that
it's because you have no bread? Don't you perceive yet,
neither understand? Is your heart still hardened?
008:018 Having eyes, don't you see? Having ears, don't you hear?
Don't you remember?
008:019 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand,
how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"
They told him, "Twelve."
008:020 "When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many
baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"
They told him, "Seven."
008:021 He asked them, "Don't you understand, yet?"
008:022 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him,
and begged him to touch him.
008:023 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him
out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid
his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
008:024 He looked up, and said, "I see men; for I see them
like trees walking."
008:025 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently,
and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
008:026 He sent him away to his house, saying, "Don't enter into
the village, nor tell anyone in the village."
008:027 Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages
of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples,
"Who do men say that I am?"
008:028 They told him, "John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others:
one of the prophets."
008:029 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Christ."
008:030 He charged them that they should tell no one about him.
008:031 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things,
and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed, and after three days rise again.
008:032 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
